"The door had significant damage, including missing glass and holes, allowing frigid air to enter the home while heat escaped. With temperatures in the teens and colder overnight conditions forecasted, the situation posed an immediate safety concern," New York State Police stated.

The man couldn't afford to replace the door, police say.

Builders FirstSource Helps Man For Free

A police officer took measurements of the door and went to Builders FirstSource on Golf Links Road in Middletown, hoping to find a surplus or factory-second door.

However, after hearing about the situation, the store's General Manager, Sam Lane, directed his staff to build a new, custom pre-hung exterior door at no cost.

Dan Livingston, Anthony Legnini, and Eddie Walsh, employees at the store, build the door.

Livingston then went with the police to install the door.

"Thanks to his expertise, the door was installed quickly and efficiently, restoring warmth, safety, and security to the home," New York State Police told Hudson Valley Post in a press release.

Police praised the ownership and staff of Builders FirstSource for their "compassion" and willingness to help strangers in need.
